As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses, and outwitted witches. Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA captivating and atmospheric historical novel about a young girl in Nazi Germany, a psychoanalyst in fin-de-siècle Vienna, and the powerful mystery that links them together. Gretel and the Dark explores good and evil, hope and despair, showing how the primal thrills and horrors of the stories we learn as children can illuminate the darkest moments in history, in two rich, intertwining narratives that come together to form one exhilarating, page-turning read. In 1899 Vienna, celebrated psychoanalyst Josef Breuer is about to encounter his strangest case yet: a mysterious, beautiful woman who claims to have no name, no feelings—to be, in fact, a machine. Intrigued, he tries to fathom the roots of her disturbance. Years later, in Nazi-controlled Germany, Krysta plays alone while her papa works in the menacingly strange infirmary next door. Young, innocent, and fiercely stubborn, she retreats into a world of fairy tales, unable to see the danger closing in around her. When everything changes and the real world becomes as frightening as any of her stories, Krysta finds that her imagination holds powers beyond what she could ever have guessed. Rich, compelling, and propulsively building to a dizzying final twist, Gretel and the Dark is a testament to the lifesaving power of the imagination and a mesmerizingly original story of redemption.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz Cover may vary Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.) Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book. For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly. * “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review “Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews “As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVoici la sombre et fascinante histoire de deux mondes parallèles. Vienne, à la fin du xXIXe siècle. Josef Breuer - célèbre psychanalyste - est sur le point d'être confronté au cas le plus énigmatique de sa carrière. Trouvée près d'un asile d'aliénés, maigre, la tête rasée, la jeune fille prétend n'avoir pas de nom, pas de sentiments - être, en fait, une machine revenue pour tuer le Monstre. Intrigué, Breuer est déterminé à comprendre les racines de ses maux. Quelque part en Allemagne, bien des années plus tard. Krysta est une petite fille dont la mère a mis fin à ses jours et qui tyrannise ses gouvernantes et son père, médecin dans un étrange dispensaire... Plongée dans le souvenir des contes de fées que lui racontait sa nounou d'antan, elle lutte pour trouver sa place quand, un matin, on découvre son père mort étranglé dans son lit. Désormais, la fillette est véritablement seule au monde, sans rien ni personne pour la protéger. Eliza Granville nous livre ici tout en subtilité un roman fascinant nourri de contes de fées revisités, dont la noirceur n'a d'égale que la réalité du nazisme, et où elle nous rappelle que l'imagination est plus puissante que la barbarie.
